Featured Platforms

Where we drive the most impact.

Each marketplace has a distinct algorithm, audience, and growth lever. Here's how we approach the platforms that move the needle most for product brands.

📦
Amazon US
The world's #1 product search engine
200M+ Prime Members $600B+ GMV (2025) #1 Product Discovery

Over 63% of US online product searches begin on Amazon. For the majority of consumer goods brands, it is not optional — it is the baseline. Yet winning on Amazon in 2026 demands mastery of A10 algorithm ranking, Vine, DSP, Brand Analytics, and A+ Content. The competition is steeper, but so is the ceiling.

🏪
Walmart Marketplace
America's fastest-growing e-commerce platform
500M+ Monthly Visitors $75B+ US eComm (2025) +25% YoY Growth

Walmart.com is growing faster than any major US marketplace, driven by its 4,700 physical stores acting as fulfillment hubs. Walmart Connect advertising is dramatically less competitive than Amazon's — meaning earlier movers earn disproportionate visibility at lower CPCs. Approval is selective, making a managed presence a competitive barrier.

🎥
TikTok Shop
The discovery-to-purchase revolution
170M+ US Users $50B+ Global GMV (2025) Fastest-Growing Channel

TikTok Shop has collapsed the gap between inspiration and purchase. Shoppable video, LIVE commerce, and creator affiliate programs create entirely new demand curves — especially for beauty, wellness, home, and lifestyle categories. Brands that ignored it in 2024 are playing catch-up in 2026.

🌐
Global Marketplaces
60+ platforms, 100+ countries
EU, APAC, LATAM, MEA Faire · Houzz · Chewy Cdiscount · Coupang +

Beyond the US major players, category-specialist and regional platforms often deliver 2–4× better margins with far less PPC competition. Faire dominates wholesale for independent retailers. Chewy is the only channel that matters for pet brands. Houzz commands premium home décor. Each has its own playbook.

Market Reality

Single-channel dependence is a liability.

The data is unambiguous. Brands that operate across multiple channels don't just earn more — they're structurally more resilient to algorithm changes, policy shifts, and competitor disruption.

40%
Less revenue on average for single-channel brands
Brands selling exclusively on one marketplace consistently underperform multi-channel peers across comparable product categories and price points. (Source: Channel Advisor Multi-Channel Commerce Index, 2025)
3+
Channels operated by top-performing e-commerce brands
Among the top quartile of DTC and marketplace brands by GMV growth, operating 3 or more active revenue channels is the consistent differentiator. Not product quality. Not price. Channel breadth.
Faster recovery from algorithm or policy changes
When Amazon suppresses a listing, changes a category fee, or restricts a product, multi-channel brands absorb the impact and redirect demand. Single-channel brands have no buffer — revenue drops immediately.
🚫 Amazon suspends 1,000+ seller accounts per day. Without backup channels, that's a total revenue stop.
📈 Marketplace fee increases have averaged 8–12% annually since 2021. Multi-channel brands renegotiate leverage.
🎯 Customer LTV is 28% higher for brands that touch customers across 2+ channels before conversion.
